Christopher is the Marketing & Programs Manager for High Tech Rochester (HTR) helping area technology entrepreneurs grow their businesses bigger, better, and smarter. Organizationally, HTR supports the efforts of our community's entrepreneurs and established business-owners alike. Christopher has worked with HTR for six years. At the beginning of County Executive Maggie Brooks' tenure, Christopher served on the Monroe County Economic Development Strategy Team.

Having lived in Rochester nearly all of his life, Christopher is a 1997 graduate of the University of Rochester, majoring in Philosophy and Political Science. More recently, Christopher completed his MBA at the Simon School of Business, concentrating in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. Locally, Christopher co-founded the Rochester Young Professionals, a grassroots organization focused on connecting area professionals to opportunities, involving members in the community, engaging people in the cultural goings-on, and informing members of important local issues.

Christopher's interests include WaveRunning and watersports, flying, cars, photography, and exploring the great outdoors. For years, Christopher has seen his friends, classmates and colleagues leave Rochester for cities like Boston or New York City, in part because they didn't realize all that Rochester has to offer, and in part because it can be difficult to enjoy these assets. Having identified a solution to some of these community problems and having assembled a team of talented individuals who share the keen interest in Rochester's future, Christopher expects the Rochester Trolley to succeed and become a permanent, ever-growing fixture in our community.
